The world we live in is filled with many things. One of them is numbers, and among numbers, the number with special properties is 'prime numbers'. Prime numbers are numbers that cannot be divided by any number other than 1 and itself, and include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 17, 19... The search for giant prime numbers began with the French mathematician Mersenne (1558-1636), and are also called Mersenne primes. Prime numbers are the basis of numbers and are the most important subject of study for mathematicians. Ancient mathematicians thought that if you knew prime numbers, you could know all numbers, and many genius mathematicians, including Gauss, Riemann, Euler, and Alan Turing, were obsessed with finding prime numbers, including the 'Sieve of Eratosthenes'. #zeta function #pi #prime numbers #giant prime numbers #mathematics #Riemann hypothesis ▶️ Program: The Great Journey of Mathematics - Mystery, Prime Numbers ▶️ Broadcast date: 2014.03.14
